Because of the additional chapter for the 'tutorial' on my local
computer, the numbers increased for me. The regular chapter numbers are
19.4 and 24.1. Sorry for the confusion. In detail:
19.4: parameters to configure the server, especially five parameters
'vacuum_cost_xxx'.
19.10: parameters to configure autovacuum.
19.11: parameters to configure client connections, especially five
parameters 'vacuum_xxx' concerning their freeze-behavior.
24.1: explains the general necessity of (auto)vacuum and their strategies.
The page about the SQL command VACUUM explains the different options
(FULL, FREEZE, ..) and their meaning.
